My Violent Heart

You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be
and there is violence in my heart
Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence of how much you have to learn

You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
can you hear it now
hear it coming now
can you hear it now

On hands and knees
we crawl
you can not stop us all
our bones our skin
we will not let you win

You have set something in motion
much greater than you've ever known
standing there in all your grand naivety
about to reap what you have sown
time will feed upon your weaknesses
and soon you'll lose the will to care
when you return to the place that you call home
we will be there we will be there

On hands and knees
we crawl
you can not stop us all
our blood will stain
we will not go away
on hands and knees
we crawl
you can not stop us all
our blood our ways will never leave this place

Excelente display de diseño, sintesis e ingenio; me recuerda a los artistas de Tokyo Plastic, pero envuelto en un point and click interesante.

Backpfeifengesicht
(Del Aleman, adjetivo compuesto)
1. m. y f. Cara que necesita un golpe.

Recorriendo una librería hace muy poco me cruce con un nene de no mas de 9 años, con un cubo Rubik en las manos. Por un momento vi, o mejor dicho crei ver, al pequeño completamente concentrado en lo que podía llegar a ser la solución al tan conocido puzzle mecánico. Al ponderar las implicaciones de tal inusual imagen senti una momentanea pero renovada esperanza en la humanidad, la perfecta imagén del infante y su infinito potencial en un exacto ambiente, posición, iluminación y vestuario; el modelo por excelencia de algo que debería ser. Mi impresión de aquel instante se mantiene al día de hoy en mi memoria (sí, suelo ser, en muy espaciadas ocasiones, alguien influenciable por ciertos estímulos); muy a mi pesar, al volver mi percepción del tiempo y el espacio a la normalidad, note que clase de beneficio sacaba el nene del rompecabezas: estaba tirándolo contra las estanterias del lugar mientras corria detras del objeto exclamando en voz alta onomatopeyas de explosiones, golpes y gritos, repitiendo la acción una y otra vez.

Agradezco al orden de las cosas por devolverme mi sentimiento usual hacia la humanidad.


misántropo, pa.
(Del gr. μισάνθρωπος).
1. m. y f. Persona que, por su humor tétrico, manifiesta aversión al trato humano.

Remarkable catalogue, low prices, even lower shipping y una suerte de fondo de donación contra el analfabetismo, la alternativa inteligente a Amazon.

Tengo una profunda curiosidad acerca de la existencia luego de la muerte, pero soy lo suficientemente cobarde como para no apresurar el proceso, si es que mis suposiciones son erróneas; mis propias discordancias y contradicciones me están volviendo loco de a poco, un día a la vez.

Si buscas 241543903 en google imagenes como resultado se obtienen fotos de distintas personas metiendo la cabeza en el freezer de la heladera, otro ejemplo de una costumbre extraña introducida por internet.

Demasiado indignado como para molestarme en una traducción, crítica o síntesis.

Disney Buys Marvel

August 31, 2009 - In a deal that combines two of entertainment's most popular brands, The Walt Disney Company announced its agreement to acquire Marvel Entertainment and its over 5000 characters in a stock and cash transaction. Marvel shareholders will receive $30 and 0.745 Disney shares for each share of stock they own. This brings the total price per share to approximately $50, making the total value of the deal around $4 billion.

Disney President and CEO Robert A. Iger explains:

"This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, X-Men, Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories. Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney."

Ike Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel, adds:

"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses. This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney's tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world."

Perlmutter will continue to oversee Marvel's properties and will "work directly with Disney's global lines of business to build and further integrate Marvel's properties.

The deal has been approved by each company's board of directors but is still waiting for the approval of Marvel shareholders and anti-trust clearance.

The intersection of these two brands is sure to have a tremendous impact across all fields of entertainment given the recent success of the Marvel brand in movies and video games. It's unlikely that the deal with affect the publishing status of the Paramount movies or Activision games, but the status of the Marvel presence at Universal's theme park is unclear.

UPDATE: More details were revealed in an investor call this morning. It was announced that Disney XD is likely to be the new home for Marvel-related TV projects. Representatives on the call praised Marvel's existing licensing deals, saying that Marvel has "done a good job at keeping attractive deals in place" and suggested that "those deals stay in place." Deals for Fox's Fantastic Four, Sony's Spider-Man and Paramount's Iron Man won't be affected in the short term but according to Disney representatives, "it would be clearly be more attractive to us if, over time, we became the sole distributor of these films." Still, added Iger, "If it's not broke..."

More interestingly, Disney has reported lots of enthusiasm in internal talks between Pixar and Marvel. The company indicated that co-branding of properties isn't likely but that the two groups are looking "very expansively at all the opportunities."

On the game's front, Disney again praised Marvel's "smart licensing agreements with some of the best videogame manufacturers in the business" and offered assurances that games based on Marvel properties will not be exclusively created by Disney. In evaluating "what's best for the company" Disney won't "rule out the possibilities of a blend of licensed games as well as self-produced and self-distributed" titles.
